I’ve been pondering a 6x45 build for me and my boys. Mostly for targets and varmints, but also has enough oopf for deer at short ranges. I also want minimal recoil and easy to reload for. This seems like a winner. Anyone have a bolt action in 6x45? I’d love to hear some success stories on game and maybe pet loads. Thanks in advance!

Why not a fast twist .223?

I have an AR-15 in 6X45 and a 7TCU bolt rifle. The 6X45 is hell on yotes and small pigs. The 7TCU I with a 120 grain Nosler BT is what I consider to be a perfect short distance whitetail rifle.
Both of mine are 18” barrels and are being shot suppressed.

I have a 6x45 on a Rem 600, wonderfully accurate and hell on coyotes with 55gr NBT's and 58gr Vmax target quality with 70gr match bullets.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

20” number 1 contour Douglas on a 700. 85 grain Sierra’s loaded with blc2 for the kids deer rifle. 58 vmax for plinking. Great little rifle, I figured that thing is probably never going to shoot at any deer past 200 yards so a 85 grain 6mm bullet made the most sense for what I had in mind. If you have a bunch of once fired 223 brass, all you have to do is run them over the 6mm sizing button and your in business. Kid got his first deer with it this year and it worked well.

How about a different approach?
CZ 527 in 6.5 Grendel. Meets all your needs, and overall lower cost, but "different enough" to be unique. Likely a moa shooter, so plenty accurate too.

Why not a fast twist .223? I did a 6X45 because the .223 isn't Colorado Legal for big game, probably won't use it on anything bigger than a pronghorn but it's legal. Fast twist .223's are great if you can use them where you live.
